Subject: IO-APIC reports this may help?

Hello,
just a quickie, our Dell Poweredge boxes - Serverworks motherboard - are
continually pumping out IO-APIC errors as I've reported here before, we have
three of the same boxes running FreeBSD (limitless file descriptors per
process - sorry, we need it!) and I've just noticed that dmesg on these says
that:

IO APIC - APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery
APIC_IO: Broken MP table detected: 8254 is not connected to IOAPIC #0 intpin
2
APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 and IOAPIC #0 intpin 0

Does this help anyone diagnose the error??

Best of luck,

Tim
